but apparently from what i have search through the internet, w40 give good protection but the FC ok niah. The recommended one for good FC is w30 (correct me if i am wrong) :bleh
for my coming 10K servicing>> think i will bring my own w30 ba
for those veteran drivers>> is the protection coverage and FC improvement by w30 and w40 VERY big difference??
clarence:
For me, I always swear by W40 as the punishing local weather, heavy load of the air con compressor on the engine and stop-start city driving creates great stress for the engine.
Fuel economy, if any at all, by using W30 is very minimal.

I changed to fasflo during 10k servicing. FC is the same as using Mineral EO. Not bad. The better thing is the engine noise. It is more quiet when at 3k rpm.
I'm also on CNY promtion which is free until 20k. Anyone know whether we can sign up for NPMP or not since NPMP is from 20K onwards?
Mine is CVT btw.

You want to give TCM money, of course they want. The package will consist of 2 As, 1 B and 1 C. In our case with CNY promotion, I believe the sequence of servicing from 30K (which is after the free 20K) will be A, C, A, B (i.e. 40K will be the more thorough C). You can check TCM web to verify the sequence of servicing for the respective mileage.
